Allan Blackman is an Associate Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. He has a PhD in Physical Inorganic Chemistry, and his research interests include coordination chemistry and chemical kinetics. He has 22 years? experience in both teaching and research, is the co-author of a best-selling Australasian-focused first-year Chemistry textbook, and has won teaching awards at his home university. His monthly musings on things chemical can be found at http://neon.otago.ac.nz/chemistry/magazine/.
Lawrence R. Gahan is a Professor of Chemistry in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, The University of Queensland, Australia. He has a PhD in Chemistry, has active research interests in bioinorganic chemistry, and has published extensively in international journals. Professor Gahan has 30 years? experience in university teaching with various teaching and learning grants, and local and national awards for his teaching. In addition, he has been awarded competitive grants to support his chemistry research.
SI Chemical Data, 7th edition, is a supplementary text for students in undergraduate chemistry courses and in high school subjects specialising in chemistry. The chemicals included have been chosen specifically to cover those typically studied in these courses.
New to this edition
The adoption of the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) has necessitated extensive revision of the hazard codes that were elaborately detailed in earlier editions. Now, instead of listing individual hazard codes for each element and chemical, the GHS is explained in detail, along with how to interpret a material safety data sheet (MSDS). This information provides students with the skills to discover and understand the hazards that may be associated with the chemicals they use.
In addition to this major change, the order of the tables of data has been rearranged to systematise the sequence of presentation. The values of the fundamental constants have been updated, data have been updated based on the most recent published compendia and, in some cases, data have been presented in different formats to those in previous editions. New tables have been included to provide data and information on:
- common radioisotopes
- common amino acids
- the miscibility of common solvents
- 1H chemical shifts of residual protons in deuterated NMR solvents
- 1H and 13C chemical shifts of common solvents
- common biological buffers
- the potentials and conversion factors for common reference electrodes.
